For millions of Americans, obesity is a lifelong struggle that not only affects one’s self-image, but their overall health and well-being. The complications of obesity can seriously affect one's ability to live a full and active life.

Unfortunately, a lifetime of yo-yo dieting, exercise, and sacrifice doesn’t always result in significant, sustainable weight loss. It is an uphill battle for many people who must deal with obesity on a daily basis.
